The Caves

Intro

Info

The Caves is a truly unique venue that makes up the sub-structure of the 18th Century South Bridge. There is no venue more Edinburgh than the Caves, or more Scottish, if you consider there was once so much Whisky stored here that it became known as "Whisky Row".

Every room has a story to tell and a special place in Scottish history -from vaults that served as the stables to the French Cavalry who were at one time body guards to the Royal Family, to remains of the houses that pre-date the Bridge itself - with the original terracotta floor tiles still intact!

Today, after over 100 years of being lost, the hidden
Edinburgh vaults were rediscovered and the original stone vaults of the Old Town Edinburgh have been magnificently restored by the current Managing Director, Norman Rowan junior.

With great regard for preserving the authenticity and history of this venue, for many years they have painstakingly excavated these vaults which is a
UNESCO World Heritage site, thus creating this spectacular and very unique venue...

We ♥ The Caves

We held our Geological Society Ball here this March and were thrilled with how the event turned out. To begin with, the venue was amazing and also perfect for the 125 (+30 after dinner) guests that we had. Communication from the office was always prompt and super helpful. They were extremely professional and made planning our event much easier for us which was a big bonus. On the night, the tables and everything looked incredible, the service was efficient and we felt like we were treated very well. The two supervisors in charge, Tommy and Jacqueline, were incredible throughout and ensured the smooth running of our night. A massive thank you to all of the staff here, would absolutely recommend this venue!

Thank you so much for all your help and support while planning the wedding and on the day. Our day was wonderful and everything ran smoothly - thanks to you and the team at the Caves. We had so many compliments about the venue and how well organised everything was. You were also so quick to reply whenever I had a question and help me with other suppliers which was brilliant esp at times when I felt worried or suppliers hadn’t been in touch.
Thanks again for everything. The day was perfect! Such happy memories.

Pen Test Partnersvia email

Dear Emma,
We're so sorry it's taken us so long to write to you but we just wanted to say a MASSIVE thank you for being absolutely amazing with our wedding on Jan 6th.
You were absolutely brilliant, so helpful, and flexible with all my MANY requests and questions.
We have our wedding photos back now and I just wanted to send a couple to you to show you just how happy you made us (plus a sneaky one of you handing us that much needed bubbly after the ceremony).
We were so impressed by all the staff, the food and the whole venue. Our friends and family all told us it was the best wedding and venue they'd ever been to and how impressed they were with all the caterers and bar staff in the evening too.
Thank you again for making our day so special, and run so smoothly.

Lara and Simonvia email

Thank you SO much for yesterday. I can’t even begin to tell you how easy you made it all for us and especially whilst we have been in New York. The venue was magical and it was seamless for us with all your hard work.
Thank you again!! What a team you have!

Ailsa and Dariusvia email

We just wanted to say thanks again to everyone helped make our day as perfect as it was.
All our guests have been raving about the venue, the food, the atmosphere, the band and many more parts of the day and generally what a great day they had. Most have said best wedding ever! The photographer said it was the coolest wedding ever!
Andy and I appreciate all the help you guys did into making it our dream wedding. I have attached a couple of our amazing pictures, which is part of the reason we chose The Caves, to get pictures like this.
Our daughter had such a good day, she has asked to have her 7th birthday party there! Might not be the most practical or cost effective for that but I have said lets save for her 18th!

Rachel and Andyvia email

Hi Caroline,
We just wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone involved in our Wedding celebrations at The Caves on Friday. Everything was brilliant! The venue looked amazing, the food was awesome and the whole day went to plan perfectly.

The day was definitely everything that we hoped for and more.

Kim and Kevinvia email

Thank you so much for helping to make my sons wedding so amazing. Last January when they told us that they had set a date and where it was I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. I got onto your website and looked at the photo’s and was very pleased with what I saw. But Wow the photo’s don’t do the venue justice, the place just blew me away. I always knew that Simon (Ash, to most of his friends and Lara) would do things a little differently, but it was amazing.
Thank you to you and your amazing staff, whom did an excellent job, I’ve had loads of compliments about their unobtrusiveness and professionalism on the day.
Thank you all once again and for making it a truly remarkable day to remember, and best wishes for the future.

Mary Ashbery (Simons’ mum)via email

Thank you so much for all of your help during the lead up and on the day!! Thank you so much for setting up the extras you really set this up exactly how I imagined and I was so happy with how everything came together.
Chris and his team on the night were just amazing and nothing was too much bother!! Everyone commented on the food and how incredible it tasted... it really was everything we hoped!!
Many thanks for all of your help you really are a huge assest to the team at The Caves and we cannot thankyou enough!!

Mr and Mrs Clarke via email

Thank you so much for your support throughout our wedding planning. We absolutely LOVED our day and couldn't have picked a better venue to bring all our friends and family together.

We will certainly recommend you.

Jo and David via email

"I just wanted to say a huge thank you for all of your help and support with the wedding. We both had an amazing day, and everything was perfect – we’re excited to get the photos back from the photographer. Ewan also did a great job running around and looking after us all day, and we couldn’t have asked for more. If anyone ever asks us what we thought of The Caves, you can be sure that we’ll have nothing but praise for the venue and staff (and we’ll point them in the direction of Emma)!

Dear Lisa,
On behalf of the staff and students at Edinburgh Universities' Royal Naval Unit, I write to express my sincere thanks to you for accommodating this years' Burns Night. We are one of 2 URNU's that celebrate Burns Night and with that we take great pride in being the only URNU in Scotland's capital City.
The evening was an important event in out Unit calendar and it was thoroughly enjoyed by the members of the Unit, not least because of the attendance of so many members of the civil and military communities of the city. Burns Night is traditionally on of the highlights of the year for any URNU and we are honoured to have been able to hold it at your stunning venue.
All the delegates and Service personnel who attended commented on your teams' professionalism and the welcoming atmosphere throughout the venue.
In particular, our event would not have run as smoothly without you and the support of your staff, and you should all be commended for the attention to detail and the ability to go the extra mile.
Once again, please accept my utmost thanks on behalf of my team here at Edinburgh URNU, the delegates who attended, and the Royal Navy.
Yours sincerely,
Neil Young

Neil Youngvia letter

We don't even know where to start in thanking you for everything you did to make our wedding day absolutely perfect. To say you gave us the special day of our dreams hardly seems enough - it was more amazing than we ever could have imagined. We are so grateful and wish you all nothing but the very best.

Bailey and Thomasvia letter

Hi Lisa,
Thank you for your email.
Everyone enjoyed Friday very much so thank you for doing such a great job. The food was fantastic and served very quickly. Staff were friendly and helpful.
I hope you have a lovely festive season also.

Storm IDvia email

Hi Lisa
Friday was a fantastic night and we’ve only heard positive feedback from those who attended. Loved it.

Merry Christmas to you and yours when it comes and all the best for the new Year.
Many thanks

Kames Kapitalvia email

Caroline,
Rachel is on her honeymoon this week so while still fresh in the memory I would like to say how much we were impressed with the caves as a venue for the wedding. The venue itself was decked out precisely in the way that Rachel wanted, the tables design and decoration were fantastic, the welcome greeting to all guests was very professional, the food and timely service were easily the best I have seen at any wedding with the synchronised service to all the tables massively impressive.All through the day the staff performed their duties without fuss and nothing was an issue. The final topping on the cake was the evening hog roast which provided all with a welcome and enjoyable food break.
You will probably have guessed by now that we were overwhelmed with the service provided and would ask if you could feed this back to all the staff involved for a magnificent effort.
We personally received feedback from many of the guests who expressed their delight at the reception many who said that it had been the best wedding they had ever been to.
Thank you again on behalf of the Clough and Summers family and if you would like me to make a posting on Trip adviser I would be delighted.

Rachel and Nealevia email

Huge thank you from everyone at Heriot Watt SBC to The Caves! Everyone had an amazing night for our graduation ball and would definitely recommend this venue - absolutely beautiful and amazing service - Lisa was a huge help to us in the organisation and Ewen and Lisa made everything run very smoothly on the night. Lovely details and set the perfect atmosphere for what we wanted. Thank you!

Natalie Smithvia Facebook

Hi Caroline and everyone else at The Caves,
I just wanted to drop you a line to say a huge thank you for organising such an amazing day for us on Saturday 2nd July in The Caves! We had an absolute ball at our wedding! Thank you for everything!

Kate and Michaelvia email

'We had our wedding reception at The Caves in February and from start to the 3am finish it was brilliant! The meetings and assistance with planing were fantastic and really reassuring, every time I had a new question someone got back to me right away and the staff are so professional and organised that it really does take the stress away.
We were a little concerned about the food because we didn't do the trial; it was delicious, I know I'm biased but it's the best food I've had at a wedding and loads of the guests commented on it too.
The venue looked incredible, all of our guests are from away as we're English and haven't lived in Edinburgh for that long so they'd never been before and they were blown away, it looks truly spectacular on the day.
The staff are relaxed, friendly and professional - nothing is too much trouble - the food is delicious and the venue is stunning.
We loved it!
Thanks Caves '

Mike and Julie via email

Just a quick note to say a huge thank you to everyone at the Caves who helped make Blair and I's wedding day so special. We had an absolute blast, as did our guests. The day ran so smoothly, the food was exceptional (so many of our guests made a point of saying how great it was!), and the front of house managers were brilliant.
It was such an amazing day. Thanks again.

Kirsty and Blairvia email

Dear Emma and The Team at The Caves
Thank you for all of your hard work to make our day so special! You were amazing from the beginning with any and all questions in the run up to the Big Day! And the day itself went amazingly! The set up was perfect, the food was exceptional and the service was great! The stunning venue was everything we had hoped for and beautifully complimented by the wonderful staff- thank you so much to all for making our day perfect!

Gemma and Edwardvia letter

We had a fabulous evening at The Caves on Saturday for Marcus's 21st. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves and was very complimentary about the venue.
We couldn't have done it without you - huge thanks to you and the rest of the team on the night, everyone was very professional. Ewen deserves particular thanks for managing everything so perfectly - he couldn't have been more helpful.

Lucyvia email

'As we approach our first wedding anniversary on 21st March, I thought now would be a perfect time to officially thank you and the rest of the staff at The Caves for giving us a truly fabulous wedding reception. A huge thank you to you for your excellent organisation and to all the staff for their enthusiasm and laid back but attentive attitude all through the evening, especially Ewan who looked after us so well.
The Caves is such a special and spectacular venue, intimate with a real wow factor and we enjoyed absolutely every minute of our experience with you from making the booking right through to leaving at the end of the night. So many of our guests have commented on how incredible it was - especially the excellent quality of the food and service.
Nothing about our experience with The Caves was run of the mill, which was exactly what we wanted. I can't thank you enough.

Martin and Kim via card

We would like to say a special thank you to you and everyone who was working on the 25th of October, You all did an amazing job and turned our wedding day into the most perfect and relaxed day. So again a massive thank you to all of you, it was such a pleasure to deal with you!

Laure & Vincentvia card

I am writing on behalf of the SELMAS Committee to thank you for the great service we had at our Conference at the Caves last week. Our delegates were blown away by the venue – it was definitely one of the stars of the event and that’s a first for us!
It looked amazing, the food was great and the service was fist class. We were given everything we asked for and much was anticipated for us in advance of even asking.
We would most certainly use the Caves again and would thoroughly recommend it to others.

Gillianvia email

To ALL the staff at The Caves who made Sascha's Bar Mitzvah such an incredible night! The feedback we have had is immense, all together we blew everyones minds and expectations and I think the night will be one which will be remembered by many for many years to come. Thank you for all the additional efforts in the planning and orchestration of the Big Band entrance it was "007 AMAZING" and thanks to your seamless co-ordination....IT WORKED!!!!

Rachel and Andrewvia letter

Hello everyone,
Sorry it has taken us a while to get around to messaging you, we had an extra few days in Edinburgh and then it took us a while to come down from cloud 9, plus we have a Halloween themed wedding to attend this Saturday too!
We both wanted to express our thanks for such a wonderful day and night. Everybody was simply blown away with the venue, the friendliness of the staff and of course the food, we honestly did not hear a bad word about anything, and both of us had the best day ever, so thank you so much!
I'm afraid we can't remember all of the individual names but a few staff in particular really stood out, so thanks very much again. We are now looking forward to planning and saving for our honeymoon, and our 1 year anniversary is already planned in Edinburgh again and we cannot wait.

Sean & Lauravia email

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for everything you did for us. The day was perfect and everything ran so smoothly. We really appreciate everything that you, and all the rest of the staff did. Chris was particularly fantastic and helpful.

I would like to thank all the staff at the Caves for a wonderful day on Sunday, my daughter's wedding. Everything worked like clockwork, the venue was very romantic and atmospheric, the food was delicious and presented perfectly and the staff were all very friendly and welcoming. The only negative thing about the day was that it had to end! Thank you all so much for giving, not only the bride and groom a wonderful day, but also for giving all the guests a day to remember.

Nualavia email

I just wanted to email to say thank you for everything on Friday - and all the days leading up to it. We've been impressed with your organisation and efficiency all the way along and I'm so glad it all paid off. It must be a complete nightmare making sure that everything runs as smoothly as it can and trying to herd everyone to be in the right place at the right time. I suspect we were pretty frustrating so thank you for your patience!
Thanks too for such a wonderful meal and for making such an effort with the tables and candles. The whole place looked beautiful.
If we need to do anything at all, please let us know.
Thanks again. We're aware of how lucky we are to have had such a lovely day

Rob and I just want to say thank you for all your help with planning and execution of our wedding at The Caves, you were fantastic! Also a big thanks to Ewan and Chris both very attentive and nothing was too much bother.

Chris (and the entire on-the-day team) – thank you so much for keeping us so well informed in what was a blur of a day, and for the friendly and professional running of the day. It all went perfectly and was entirely due to the wonderful staff at The Caves.
Thank you for giving us a perfect wedding day!

Beth and Blairvia card

I just wanted to drop you a line to say what a truly fantastic evening we had on Saturday. It was such a memorable event for us, getting people back together after more than twenty years. Your team did a superb job. The food was delicious, service was great, and we felt looked after all evening. I can't tell you what a pleasure it was to be one of the party organisers, but with absolutely nothing to worry about from the moment we arrived to the moment we left!
I have had so many compliments from various guests about the evening in general and the choice of venue in particular (see below).
So a huge big thank you to Chris and all the team on the night, and of course to you for helping us along the way. If you can bear to have us, I think we might well be back in a few years time!
all best wishes, and again very many thanks,
Jessica
"Thank you for organising such an epic evening in what has to be the coolest venue on the planet!"

Feeling frazzled but still high reminiscing....

Thank you for keeping me calm! We can't recommend you enough!
What a beautiful venue and wonderful staff! Thankyou!

Melanie and Matthewvia letter

We cannot thank you enough for being the best venue we could have wished for for our wedding last Saturday. The team took the time to organise all the personal touches we wanted, the staff were great and we literally had the best day ever- couldn't have asked for anything more. Thanks again x

Now that the dust has settled can I just say WOW!!!! I can't tell you how amazing our day / night was!!!!!!

Hope your weekend was as good as ours!!!!!

Archie & Jacquivia card

I wanted to write and thank all of the staff at The Caves for making our wedding on the 11th so wonderful. Particularly to the Wedding Team and Manager, Chris, and the staff working that day who were excellent. Our guests all commented on how impressed they were with the venue, the catering and the service. We also had many guests saying that it was the best wedding that they'd ever been to. We would agree but then we are rather biased.
We also wanted to say that as a gay couple, finding a venue that would treat us with courtesy and sensitivity was really important and, even though it's increasingly rare these days, you do still hear of horror stories for some gay couples trying to book venues. We would happily recommend you to anyone!
In fact, we originally approached you because we had used a quote from a female couple a few years ago who had their civil partnership at The Caves. We knew therefore that we would be welcome.
Anyway, thank you again for giving us the best day of our lives. We will never forget it.

Ewan & Stewartvia email

Daryl and I had the most amazing time on Friday and there is absolutely nothing we would of changed about it. Everyone said what a perfect venue it was and how it truly reflected us. I loved in particular that nothing much, if at all, needs done to decorate the venue as it screams character and provides a romantic setting without even trying. I can't thank you, Caroline, enough for all of the support over the last year and you truly made the process a lot easier for me. I don't even want to count the amount of emails I have sent you, especially the ones the night before the wedding. I loved how I could ask you any question and you always gave me a practical answer. You were the best wedding planner I could have asked for! Ewen, your service and attentiveness was incredible on Friday, all of the family have commented on how great you were and I'm sorry for being so late... You covered this up so smoothly as we began to run late. Everything ran perfectly, even with the builders and the cement thing, but it only added a unique anecdote for us in the future. You were definitely more worried than we were. I cried, when I came to collect our things on Tuesday, not sad tears but tears because I was reminded of what an incredible day we had at The Caves. I hope we will be back in the future. To be honest, I'm already planning an anniversary party here, in my head. Take care everyone and I hope business continues to boom. This is only a great reflection on the amazing service you provide and the magical setting that is The Caves.Caves good

Sam and Daryl via email

Sam and I would like to say a great big THANK YOU to you and your whole team! Our big day went wonderfully, we could not have asked for anything more! The staff on the night were fab and so, so helpful! Throughout the whole wedding process you have been great and so helpful, you helped make it as stress free as possible! We absolutely loved the caves, it was so special and our wedding guests loved it just as much. We had compliments on the venue all night long! We enjoyed all of our time in Edinburgh and can't wait to come back. Thanks again and good luck with your new arrival

We just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you and everyone at The Caves for an incredible evening! It was perfect! The atmosphere, the ambiance, the appearance of everything was amazing.

Bernada and Mattvia email

Thanks so much for your hard work and patience at making the event such a success. It was an absolutely brilliant night and everyone had a smashing time. I must admit I was incredibly proud to host the event at The Caves and it really didn’t fail to impress the company and all of our guests!
It would be great if you could pass on special thanks to Ewen as he was a great event manager on the night. I can’t tell you how impressed I was by him ‘having our back’ as it over and above and ensured that we didn’t go overboard.
I’d happily recommend your venue to anyone having an event and would absolutely use it again in the future.

Our guests had a fabulous time too and all commented on how great the venue was.

The venue speaks for itself and Ailidh, our wedding co-ordinator was fantastic in helping us about adding the personal touches on the day.What a lovely young and gracious lady! The staff were so helpful and cheerful even though we did run a little late due to the Bride arriving late.The meal was superb and service impeccable.Throughout the evening the staff continued in the happy cheerful manner that had been around from an early start.At the end of the night they helped in so many ways to arrange the return of the personal items we had used in adding personal touches.
All guests commented on staff and fantastic food.
In conclusion Ailidh in particular and the remaining staff catering ,bar ,and the security person contributed to making a very special day a relaxed and wonderful occasion for the happy couple and all guests.Many ,many thanks.X

Hi Caroline,
We just wanted to get in touch to say thanks so much for all your help, patience and advice in the months leading up to our wedding. Our time at the Caves felt very relaxed, and we didn't need to worry about anything on the day, everything just happened around us, as planned!
Thanks again for everything, it was much appreciated!
